| Chapter 4: A Helping Hand |

Previously...

"I'll never be your Queen!"

She continued to whimper, sobbing uncontrollably.

This was starting to get out of hand, so the concerned hedgehog laid on the bed beside her, grabbing her shoulders as he gently shook her.

He deep down was hoping doing so would eventually wake her up from this terrible nightmare.

Her eyes shot open as she jerked up in bed, more and more tears pouring out her eyes.

The lilac-toned möbian slightly shivered as she felt one's eyes lingering upon her.

She whipped her head to her right, her tear glazed eyes widening when she saw a familiar hedgehog standing on the right side of the bed.

"Sh-Shadow!?"

------------------------------------------------

Twilight stuttered as his scarlet eyes pierced through her's.

There was an awkward silence between the two.

Shadow could see the fear conquering her sorrowful, violet irises.

He truly felt empathetic towards the girl, but didn't know how to convey it.

The raven-colored hedgehog decided to be the one to break the ice.

"What was that nightmare about," Shadow bluntly questioned Twilight as he sat on the edge of the bed.

The lavender mobian scooted to the edge, sitting next to obsidian hedgehog.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself as vivid images of the horrific nightmare flooded into her head.

"I-It was...n-nothing," she stuttered, looking away from the hedgehog.

"If it was nothing then why were you screaming and crying in your sleep?" Shadow rose a brow at Twilight.

The lavender mobian could feel herself on the verge of tears.

"I-It's n-nothing," her voice lowered to a whispered as she hid her face from Shadow.

More and more memories of the nightmare began to invade her delicate mind. She couldn't hold in the hard ache and pain any longer.

Suddenly, she hastily wrapped her arms around Shadow's torso, putting her weight on him, causing him to fall back upon the soft mattress with her on top.

She continued to hold him tightly as she sobbed uncontrollably into the ebony hedgehog's chest.

Shadow's eyes slightly widened, feeling Twilight hugging him tightly as if her life depended on it.

He began to feel the warm, fuzzy sensation in his chest once again.

Darn it! This strange feeling again?! Shadow cursed to himself, slightly annoyed by the unusual feeling.
